60 Minutes offended Trump for an edited interview with Kamala Harris to

CBS for $20 billion lawsuit. The Redstone family, which privately holds
the Viacom holding company (whatever it's called this week), wants to
sell out to Skydance, owned by the son of Larry Ellison. The media has
been speculating that the Redstones are sucking up to Trump like
everybody else so that the federal government won't regulate the merger
to death.

Are you trying to claim that CBS did not edit her terrible interview
to make her sound better?

Editing for clarity and pertinence lands where it always does.  Plus,
any interviewer removes, e.g., farts...

Well, there you go feigning ignorance when you've lost the debate again!

No one who watched the original footage can objectively claim those "edits"
were for "clarification"; in fact, part of the response came from another
question, if memorey serves.

It reminds me of the time 60 Minutes creatively editted an interview with
Clinton to make him look good and then twenty years later showed the original
footage which did not.
